You are amazing!!!

That title fooled me! I try to see the "what went wrong" side of things just to prepare myself for the worst, but honestly, I can find very little negative. I don't have my surgery date set yet, seeing the Psychologist on Thursday and my last dietician appointment on Friday, already cleared by my Doctor so definitely getting closer. People ask me if I'm nervous and the answer is no. I'm just excited!!

Amazing! Congrats on your transformation... So inspired!

Just came across your post and your story is such an inspiration! I'm getting sleeved in December and have similar starting numbers. I've always felt pretty confident/happy with myself, but I'm starting to see the toll my weight is taking on my body. Sometimes I get nervous after reading the posts on this site, but your story is so reassuring and has put a smile on my face. I hope that I'm as lucky as you have been in this journey!

It's not luck, it's work! But if I can do it, anyone can. YOU CAN AND YOU WILL!

"LipstickLady" This is the best post I have read. It captures so much of what I feel and have been dealing with. I am only 3 weeks out but feel excited about what's to come. Thank you for sharing such intimate thoughts with us. Your story motivates people like me to keep looking forward to what's coming. Congrats on your success.

Great share. I am into martial arts as well. I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I was a healthy fat person too. When I won the black belt kata at the LA open (at 200+ lbs), the person who gave me the trophy whispered in my ear how happy he was for me and for "a girl your size" you did great. o.O

Thanks for the share

For your size?!? Did you punch him?

@@Lipstick Lady I wanted to. GRRRRR

Hi LipstickLady. I am two years out from my surgery (4/30/14) and just back on the boards from a long hiatus. I went and reread your post and it is SO motivational. Especially to me since I have been slipping and sliding over the last year. Thank you for your thoughts and encouraging words.

What an inspiration! You look awesome and you look like a totally different person. You have really inspired me. I am having my sleeve on November 18th. Thanks for sharing your story.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me!!!! I literally feel like you totally get it, my feelings and thoughts about being "health" over weight and feeling like the "Fat Mom!!"
